Global Warming? Huh?

"A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water. " Carl Reiner

Don't talk about global warming because it sure isn't happening in the southern portion of the U.S. It is chilly ... for Florida. Even worse than that is snow is predicted for San Antonio, TX!! It NEVER snows in San Antonio. On top of that even the Phoenix area is receiving cool weather and rain! What's up here?

Living in the Pacific NW for many, many years and then living in the Dallas area of Texas for another many years, we are really tuned in to weather. Our idea of a great retirement was living someplace where the skies were always blue, no need for a furnace or an air conditioner. Then, all of a sudden all of these really cool southern destinations are chilly and wet. What's with this? I think we've stumbled upon a very unique year to say the least. I guess that's why chalk works so well. We've learned to roll with the flow and change whatever plans we may think we have for whatever plans we need to have. However, right now ... we have no plans. That's probably good.

We've had a couple SKP visitors the last couple of days. Joe is traveling through and on his way to Texas. Sandie and Jim are also traveling through but they are on their way to Arizona. Both of those visits made for an good excuse to revisit the local Fish House. So, adding the two of us and Lee and MJ ... that's where dinner was tonight. Good times, good food and great folks .... it is another reason we really enjoy what we're doing right now.

Storms are over .. we hope. The sun was peeking through with no rain in sight so today was a great day. The surf in the ocean was churning ... a gorgeous view. And, possibly a few more unique seashells will be discovered on the beach. Surfers were out in droves hoping for that perfect wave.

We made a trip in to Panama City and shipped off a couple Christmas boxes via FedEx. In another week we'll be shipping Terry off to Phoenix for a few days.... not using FedEx though. He has a dental appointment scheduled and a visit with his father is on the agenda. His father isn't doing so good right now so he feels he should be spending a little more time there.

All I know for now ... things are good. We're happy. Floods are receding. Beach is still beautiful.
